Vol 3 Chapter 2 (2/2)

”A, about that, Kurumi”

However upon looking at Kurumi's expressions and movements, he couldn't help but stop

As Kurumi raised her eyes to look at shi+dou, she suddenly lifted the edges of her pleated skirt

”Want, to see?”

”Eh!? N, no, just now that was——”

Even though it was not like he did not want to look, he couldn't very well say it outright

Just as shi+dou was in a s, then hid into the shadows of the nearby cabinet used to store cleaning equipment

”Ku, Kurumi?”

shi+dou knitted his eyebrows in response towards Kuru movements

Kuru her small mouth

”It's okayyou know, if it's shi+dou-san”

Saying that, the hands that were holding onto the skirt, slowly rose

”Eheh eh!?

shi+dou, in reaction to this totally unexpected turn of events, widened his eyes

However when shi+dou was at a loss as to what to do, Kuruhs wrapped by the black tights slowly showed——even that forbidden triangle zone was slightly showing Through that black fabric that was being stretched on both sides, white panties could be seen in an instant

”——!!”

shi+dou i Kuruinal position

”Ara,ara”

Kuru an incredulous look

”What's wrong? If it is shi+dou-sanI don't mind, you know?”

”No, that's enough! Now! Let's go already!”

”Ufufu, shi+dou-san is shy~ Aaa, but, if ant to continue, can you please let go of my skirt first?”

”!”

Being re open If it were to be seen from the side, the present shi+dou, is undoubtedly a super pervert who brings girls to dark corners to lift their skirts

”So, sosososososorry!”

Hastily letting go of his hands Kuruh she did not mind at all

”shi+dou, don't panic, first adjust your body posture”

At this moment, Kotori's instruction arrived shi+dou unnaturally coughed As they continued with their route, following the previous instruction and asked

”A, about that, Kurumi”

”Nn, what is it?”

”In the , didn't you say 'I am a Spirit'? What exactly, are Spirits?”

After shi+dou's question, Kuruht smile

”—Ufufu, please don't play dumb, shi+dou-san Don't you know it clearly? The issue, about Spirits”

””

Faced with Kurumi's reply, shi+dou held his breath

”What, this girl”

Kotori let out a surprised sound similar to shi+dou

”Confident that shi+dou knows about the SpiritsWhat in the world is going on here?”

shi+dou did not require pro to understand, and asked the question in Kotori's stead

”Ho, how do you know, the thing about ?”

”Fufu, that is——a secret”

”Eh?”

”The reason I came to this school was just to meet with shi+dou-san Because I knew about shi+dou-san, that's why I've been longing to see you There was never a day that I wasn't thinking about shi+dou-san So—right now, I'm extremely happy”

Finishi+ng her words, Kuruht pink

”!!”

shi+dou felt his cheeks giving off heat Even though he couldn't see it, his ears would be e steam by now

Why Why is this Whether it's flirting or a girl in love, it's totally in a different dimension This existence known as Kuru assailed shi+dou

It was just like indrunk after licking the whiskey that his father placed in the glass cabinet, a drowsy drunkenness As though he would cruhtest touch

”Hey, isn't the situation reversed like this!”

”Ha”

Kotori's voice brought shi+dou back to his senses

”Welllet's continue ”

shi+dou deeply breathed in, aze

The reason wasever since then as long as they h he was rooted to the spot

”Keh, not going to spill it that easily huh We have no choice, continue to attack ——I don't care if it is cowardly anymore We can't let her take control of the situation”

”Sh, shut it”

”WellIt is frustrating to be led around by the nose Let's try to make her waver”

After Kotori finished speaking, the e displayed multiple choices

①”Kurumi, your hair is really beautiful” Gently stroke her hair as if nothing has happened ②”Ah, it's dangerous!” Pretend to trip and fall on her ③”Hey, it's this way” Naturally hold her hand

Umu, Kotori raised the Chupa Chups that was in her mouth

The choices were all unintentional body contact It was slightly risky but it is precisely because hersuch decisions It truly was an effective method to shorten the distance

”——Everyone, choose!”

After she was done, she i results on the monitor beside her hand, Kotori nodded

”③ huh? Well that's the easiest one”

”Well said, ① seems to be too close, while ② is too obvious”

At thiswhen he reappeared beside Kotori, Kannazuki spoke up

Golden hair in a , the western pants that he usually as nowhere to be found, replacing that was a pair of tights with characters printed on them

”Ara, it seems that you escaped safely Kannazuki”

”What a dangerous place Who exactly are they?”

”To prepare for the situation when they're needed of course”

”Then why did they try to take off my underwear?”

”It's just you”

”What noas I being overly conscious?”

Kannazuki ended with a ”Ha ha ha”, quickly turning serious once more

”HoweverAtte to make bodily contact, there's another method to do so”

”Say it out”

”Ha First of all, get shi+dou-kun to lie on the corridor”

”And then?”

”Then use various angles to observe the Spirit's underwear that is under those tights”

”Are you doing it again?”

Kotori's atteers once more was stopped by a frantic Kannazuki

”The, there'sher panties be seen right?”

”Umu”

Then of course, she would forcefully step on shi+dou-kun ould be lying on the corridor! This way the relationshi+p between master and servant would naturally deepen——”

Following the sound of Kotori's finger snap, the two giants once again reappeared on the bridge, taking Kannazuki with them

”Wh, why, Commander!”

Ignoring Kannazuki's cries, Kotori took the microphone

”shi+dou, it's ③, go and hold her hand”

”Understood”

shi+dou nodded his head in response to Kotori's instructions But before the instruction, he felt that he heard the cry of someone as about to die He didn't understand why, but it felt as though he could not ask too much about this

””

shi+dou forcefully gulped, looking at the road ahead Turning left at the T-junction would be the staircase of the west building

What a great opportunity At that point, the act of holding Kuru, ”Aaah, this way this way” pointing out the correct direction to her replayed itself in his brain countless times

However——

”Hyii!?”

shi+dou widened his eyes in shock Just as they were about to reach the T-junction, Kurumi suddenly held shi+dou's hand

”How did this happen——”

Kotori let out a similar, surprised cry

But the aardness that Kotori felt cannot be coht nowThe pal wrapped in soft, slender and soinary yet strong pressure It felt as though his nose would start bleeding if he were to be careless

”Ku, Kurumi?”

This however wasn't CG but reality, shi+dou turned his headafter much difficulty

”Wh, hhat should I do now?”

Turning his head to look, Kuruht hand, shyly looked doards, turning her face to one side

”As expectedI' you, aren't I?”

”!! No, none ofthesort”

With shi+dou's words, Kuru relieved

”Sure enough, shi+dou-san really is gentle”

Ending her sentence, Kurumi bashfully smiled

”N, no”

——It feels like, I don't knohere to look now shi+dou's eyes swam around His consciousness started to become muddled You can't Kuruhts were continuously assaulting his brain

”——Hey, shi+dou-san”

Kuruhtly

”Whatis, it?”

”I have a request to ask of shi+dou-san Would you please listen?”

A peculiar feeling As though as long as Kururee to it

”Aa, aah——”

However, in that instant

”Nuwaaa!”

”Ss”

Acco noise sounded out from behind them

Looks like the cleaning equipment cabinet placed in the corridor had fell The brooms and dustpans were everywhere

Afterwards, the two students who seeround in a heap

”To, TohkaOrigami!?”

shi+dou couldn't help but shout That's right, they were undoubtedly Tohka and Origami

”Ara ara? What are the two of you doing here?”

As Kuru her head in wonder

Seeing that scene, Tohka and Origaot to their feet

”It, it's about that! Even though shi+dou wanted to bring Kurus that must be done, haven't you heard about it!”

”——Tokisaki Kuru hands Let go right now”

”! Right, that's it!”

Tohka in a rare act of fully agreeing with Origami's words, nodded her head forcefully

”Ah”

Once someone had pointed it out, shi+dou then realised that his hand was still being held Hastily trying to let go——However, Kuru it io

Kuru to the two, and started to act

”The truth is I have, contracted a severe case of aneentle shi+dou-san held my hand Please don't blame shi+dou-san”

After hearing that, Tohka and Origahts on shi+dou ”Is that so?” was sent along with their gazes

”Eh, eeeehhThat is, well, um”

He didn't knohy, but he felt that in this situation it would be best for hiuely answered

And in the next instant, Origami suddenly knelt onto the floor

”! Origami! What's the matter?”

shi+dou had a shock from the sudden turn of events

”Anemia”

””

shi+dou's face twitched Naturally, sweat dripped from his forehead

”I can't walk by myself”

””

”A gentle person”

”Oo, oh”

shi+dou, under a mysterious pressure, held out his free left hand

”What's the hable!”

Tohka stared at Kuru his two arms——

”——Ha!”

Taking a second look at shi+dou's two ared

”shi+, shi+dou! I also have anemia!”

”Is that so?”

”U,umu, to tell you the truth, my butt doesn't have a lot of flesh!+”

”No, that's not what anemia is”

As shi+dou bitterly s troubled

”An, anyway, I want it too!”

Saying that, she tried to hold hands——But, they were already occupied by Kuruami

”Guuuu”

Tohka showed an expression as though she were about to cry, standing right in front of shi+dou, lowering her waist as though she was about to pounce

”Hey, hey——Don't tell me——”

At this tone sounded out from nowhere

”——hello”

Origa a conversation

Although she gave a carefree reply, he did not understand why she shot a sharp glance towards Kurumi

”Understood”

With that, she silently ended the phone call

”Soent came up”

After Origarip on shi+dou's hand, she reluctantly let go

Irab shi+dou's hand tightly

””

Origalare, looked at Kurumi and walked off

Before leaving, she whispered a sentence into shi+dou's ear ”Beware of Tokisaki Kurumi”

”Wh, what?”

”shi+dou-san? Aren't we going?”

”Eh? Aa, aaaah”

Under Kuru with his two ar held

Needless to say, the stares fros had increased

Six in the afternoon

shi+dou who brought Kurumi around the school to view the facilities, as well as Tohka who half forcefully forced the on the street that was dyed red by the setting sun ——Of course, shi+dou's arms were already freed

”Well, that's et it?”

”Nn, thank you very much Really now, it would have been better if it were only the two of us”

”Hahaha”

shi+dou gave a bitter s Kurumi

Truthfully speaking, shi+dou was grateful to Tohka

With a burden, it h they still went to the event spots such as the rooftop and the infirmary, no romantic atmosphere was created

No, even if he did raise Kurumi's affections for him, there was still reason to worry But how to say it, if he and Kurumi were to enter a location with such an atmosphere, it felt like he would be eaten

Kurumi did indeed possess that special attractiveness

Just like——that's right, just like a carnivore, or a bug-eating plant

”No no”

shi+dou shook his head at those thoughts Describing girls like they were predators or bug-eating plants, even if he didn't say it aloud it was still rude

——At this moment

”Well then, shi+dou-san, Tohka-san I'll take my leave from here”

Nearing the crossroads, Kuruave a bow and said

”Eh? Oo, oh”

”Mu, is that so? Well see you again tomorrow”

As shi+dou and Tohka waved their hands, Kuru sun

”——Aaah, aaah”

After saying goodbye to shi+dou and Tohka, Kuru sun alone

”I still can't——slightly, I couldn't bear it It took so long for me to find it, I still want to enjoy school life for a while longer”

Afterto herself, her body spun around in a rhythm

”Ufufu, this enjoyment, I'll leave it to the last part to enjoy then”

Suddenly——Kuru

”——”

Putting strength into her legs shein front It looked like Kurumi had bumped into a athered at the side of the road

”Ara ara, I'm really sorry”

Kuru to walk away However,

”Hey Wait a second, little lady It was your fault for being careless, don't think that things would end just like this”

The ave a sinister smile

Just like a response, the man's comrades, separated out and surrounded Kurumi

”Ara, ara?”

Kurumi tilted her head in wonder, one of the men let out a whistle

”Hey hey, her looks aren't that bad A great catch?”

”Hey—hey—, what's your nasters continued to look at Kuru

Aaah——At this point, Kurumi understood

”Onii-san——Don't tell o out with me?”

Kuru Thewith their hands on their foreheads

”Hey hey, go out she said Meanie— Ec——chi!”

”But isn't this fine What, you like this type too?” ”Nn To an extent ——Leaving that aside, how about we change locations? There's too many people here”

Kurust theKurumi

After forcing Kurumi into a dead end, the man who Kurumi had bumped into showed a lecherous smile and extended his hand

”Wellthen, I won't stand on ceremony now”

But——That extended hand did not touch Kuruhtly doards

”Ah? What are you doing If you aren't gonna do it then let me——”

The ed his shoulders and said But the man who reached out for Kurumi, interrupted his words in panic

”N, no! My body is!”

”Your body?”

At this moment, his comrades have also noticed

From Kurumi's feet, her shadow rapidly expanded, and the countless white ar the man's body into the shadow

”!? Wh, what is this!”

”U, uwaaaaaaa!?” Everyone started to yell

However, it was already too late

”Ufufu, fufu”

Kuruht by the white ar pulled into the shadows

”Well, even though they are pieces of trash that's usually not worth eating But since I have ain the near future, why not taste a little to get ue used to it first——I'm sorry now”

Kuruether with a Pa!

Instantly, the moans of the men nearby vanished entirely

Kuru a h

——In that instant

”Ara?”

Faced with that sudden feeling assailing her, Kurumi's eyebroitched

That feeling of having one's entire body being felt all over To be sed by a giant creature without even chewing, that's probably the feeling right now

This feeling is not the first time she has felt it

A barrier that icians employs with the help of a machine called a Realizer• Personal Territory

Even aht, can't be irl

”——Tch, one step too late, huh?”

As though to confirirl appeared in front of Kurumi's eyes

Hair tied up in a bunch, a girl that looked like a middle schooler

Even though she earing casual wear such as a colorful parka jacket and a culotte skirt The surrounding air, was as dangerous as a ferocious beast who caught sight of its prey

”Looks like you've been wildly eating again, <nightmare>”

”Ara ara, you areTakamiya Mana-san, correct?”

Kuruhtly slanted her head and said, Mana unhappily let out a Humph

”Even though it is commendable for you to remember my name, that attitude makes me want to puke”

”Ara, I apologise for that then”

Kuru

”However, names are very ihtmare> and the like May I ask that you call me Tokisaki Kurumi?”

As Kurumi finished, Mana slanted her eyebrows in irritation

”Because it's important, that's why I don't wish for my name to be called by you Exactly because it is important, that's why I do not wish to call you by that name”

”That feels difficult”

”Shut up, Spirit”

Mana's gaze sharpened

Kurumi's skin, felt a chill

After saying goodbye to Kurumi, shi+dou accoredients for dinner

Right hand laden with heavy plastic bags, they walked on the street that was darker than before

”Well—It sure was the right day to come today”

Naturally showing a sht Today they had entered the supere amounts of meat with 30 off the normal price

”shi+dou! What's for dinner today? Haer steak?”

These feeeks Tohka has gotten used to guessing the menu She happily said in excitement

”Ah, I vote for haer steak as well!”

This moment, Kotori's voice came from the transmitter that was still in transmission

shi+dou, lightly shrugged, the corner of his htly raised

”Ah— What should I do There's still stewed carrots with fish floss and Sanshoku donburi!”

”Mu, h those aren't bad at all, can't we have haer steak?”

”Hold on, what are you saying Since we got our hands on o!”

As Tohka said with her eyebrows knitted together, Kotori's voice came from the transmitter at the same time

In front, the sounds of sports shoes rubbing on asphalt could be heard shi+dou turned his head towards that direction

”Nn?”

Over there is, with a ponytail and a tear e as Kotori, stood there with eyes widened in shock

Wearing a parka jacket and a culotte skirt Her white sports shoes, has striking red spots on them for some reason Just like, bloodstains

”?”

An unfamiliar faceat least that was hoas supposed to be, shi+dou tilted his head

He doesn't understand why, but there was a slight fah they have met somewhere before

At that ht at his direction shi+dou couldn't help but turn his body around She ht

However, nothing was there Aside fro, the equally spaced telephone poles as well as the garbage disposalelse that can be seen

Thatat, could only be shi+dou—

shi+dou's thoughts stopped at this point

”Nii”

The girl opened her tre lips

”Nii?”

shi+dou questioned back However the girl did not reply, instead running up and ju into shi+dou's chest

”Wha”

Just like that using her arh she was deeply h the victiirl, there was nothing wrong, if their positions were to change a little, they would immediately be noticed by the police No, under this kind of circumstance, it is totally possible that shi+dou would be the one caught instead

However, the thoughts made by shi+dou, were interrupted partway

The girl buried her head into shi+dou's chest, saying,

”——Nisama(Nii-sama)!”

”HaHaaa!?”

In that instant, the street as well as the bridge of <fraxinus>, the voices of the Itsuka siblings beautifully coincided with each other
